We have applied the following access list to our Cisco 2501.  The
Cisco is our router to the Internet.  

This is an inbound filter.

I understand that this is a liberal filter, however we have other
protections such as another router between this one and sensitive
networks and run pieces of the fwtk, tcp_wrappers, tcpsuck and
udpsuck and stuff like that on all of the machines that are
accessable from the Internet.  I like the additional logging that
this stuff provides.  That said the part of our network that this
list protects is "outside the firewall" so to speak.

What might be the performance impact of the filters below?  

How can I figure out the actual performance impact?

Can anyone see any errors in the below excerpt from our
configuration?
